One-dimensional notation

The piezoelectric behavior of several ferroelectric perovskite-like materials is of technological importance, and this is due to the combination of high dielectric constant and spontaneous polarization exhibited by these materials. The piezoelectric effect refers to the development of an electric polarization by the application of a stress. Conversely, an electric field applied to the crystal causes it to become elastically strained. In one-dimensional notation, the polarization P is related to the mechanical stress X and electric field E through the equation... 

For convenience of notation we accept from here on, that each frequency of the problem co has a dimensionless counterpart denoted by a capital Greek letter, so that co,- = coofl,. The model (4.28) may be thought of as a particle in a one-dimensional cubic parabola potential coupled to the q vibration. The saddle-point coordinates, defined by dVjdQ = dVjdq = 0, are...

In what follows, a one-dimensional picture will mainly be employed to avoid a notational proliferation. We will also consider a single atomic solute. The methods discussed are easily generalized to three dimensions and many particles the x, y, and z coordinates of the cyclic path for each atom are represented by a set of Fourier coefficients. 

Let us consider e.g. a two-orbital two-electron model system with the orbitals a and b which can be understood as notation for one-dimensional irreducible representations of the point group of a TMC. In this case it is easy to see that the corresponding singlet and triplet states and (T = B, S = 0,1) are given correspondingly by ... 

For simplicity we shall often use the notation for discrete states or for a continuous one-dimensional range and leave it to the reader to adapt the notation to other cases. 

The representations here are labelled by the group theoretical notation [13] A/, A2, By, B2, E. The first four are one dimensional, while the representation E is two dimensional. For 3, some representations are contained twice and the situation is slightly more complicated. In condensed matter physics, it has become customary to label the representations with the letter T [14]. When both positive and negative parity states are considered also the parity label is added, r and V. The conversion between the two notations is Aj — Ti, A2 — T2, Bi — r3, B2 —> T4, and E —> Ts. 

The FEM formulation of two-dimensional problems is not different in principle from the simple one-dimensional case just described. For two-dimensional problems, however, the algebra becomes involved and matrix notation is required to keep it manageable. 

Before concluding the discussion on the notation of the irreducible representations, we use C2v point group as an example to repeat what we mentioned previously since this point group has only four symmetry species, A, A2, B, and B2, the electronic or vibrational wavefunctions of all C2V molecules (such as H2O, H2S) must have the symmetry of one of these four representations. In addition, since this group has only one-dimensional representations, we will discuss degenerate representations such as E and T in subsequent examples. 

Fic. 2. Chemisorption and dissociation of a diatomic AB. (a) The traditional Len-nard-Jones one-dimensional potential diagram E versus R, where R is an ill-defined reaction coordinate, say the AB-surface distance, (b) The conventional two-dimensional potential diagram E versus R(x, y). The reaction coordinates are the A — B distance ( ) and the AB-surface distance (y). The energy minima correspond to the (nondissociated) molecular chemisorbed state DAB + QAB and atomic (dissociated) chemisorbed state gA + gB, the maximum to the transition state (TS) with some finite A — B bond length, (c) The multidimensional BOC potential diagram, similar to (b), but the reaction coordinate is the A — B bond order xAB. The M — AB bond order is conserved to unity (xA + xAB + xB = 1) up to the transition state where 1 > = c > 0 and 8 = 1/2(A ,abj6 + gAB). See text for notations... 

A convenient short-hand representation of such three dimensional structures introduced by Zimmerman I 4,7) is often convenient when one is following complex photochemical reactions. This two dimensional notation is shown in Equation 6 31). Thus Equation 6 in two dimensions represents the three dimensions of Equation 5. 

Three examples will suffice to demonstrate this information Figure 3 shows the polyhedral units in the synthetic zeolite Linde Type A, which link to provide a three-dimensional interconnecting array of channels, Figure 4 illustrates the essentially two-dimensional system of channels in the mordenite framework, and Figure 5 shows the major channels in synthetic zeolite Linde Type L arranged as parallel one-dimensional channels and shown as a stereo pair. Table 6 lists the Atlas notations for these structures with explanations, including the symbols used in Tables 2-5.
